(C) Per reftel, we informed MFA desk officer for IAEA issues
Hugues de Longevialle of the Algerian request to us for
assistance in dealing with the IAEA and its protocols. We
also shared our preliminary response, noting that we were
requesting additional information from the Algerians on their
program. Longevialle responded that the MFA had not received
a similar request. He contacted us later in the day on May
17 and confirmed, after consulting with appropriate French
agencies, that the Algerians had not approached the French.
He noted, however, that the French mission in Vienna had
heard of Algeria's interest and that the French mission would
follow-up, as appropriate. Separately, MFA DAS-level
director for North Africa Anne Mohsen also informed us that
the Algerians had not approached the French.
